    Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas--
    But still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
    And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd,
From wandering on a foreign strand!

And nobler is a limited command,
Given by the love of all your native land,
Than a read more

And nobler is a limited command,
Given by the love of all your native land,
Than a successive title, long and dark,
Drawn from the mouldy rolls of Noah's Ark.

Can e'er untie the filial band
That knits me to thy rugged strand!
